Milk Bread (Shokupan)

FAQ

1. Can I use all-purpose flour instead of bread flour?
While you can use all-purpose flour, bread flour yields a better texture due to its higher protein content, which helps create a chewier loaf.

2. Can I make this recipe without a stand mixer?
Yes! You can knead the dough by hand. It will take a bit longer (around 10-15 minutes), but the results will be just as delicious.

3. What should I do if my dough doesn’t rise?
Ensure that your yeast is fresh and active. If your kitchen is too cold, consider placing the dough in a warmer spot, like an oven with the light on or near a radiator.
